Credit Transfer Information for Summer Courses

Credit Transfer Information for Summer Courses

The credit structure at DIS mirrors most North American institutions. Depending on the summer sessions you enroll in, you can earn from 3 to 9 credits over your summer.

Credit Transfer

The best way to make your DIS credits count for something back home is to plan ahead! Meet with your study abroad office and academic advisor, bringing along the DIS courses that interest you and their syllabi to help your advisors determine transfer details. If you need additional information, contact the North American Office at (612) 301-7200, or toll-free at (800) 247-3477, or write DIS@DISabroad.org.

Reporting of Credits and Grades

Final Grade Reports are sent within 30 days after all summer sessions have concluded – one copy to you and one to your home university (or the one that admitted you to DIS). These reports include courses taken, grades, and credits earned. Grades are A-F like at home, and the full report is in English.

School of Record

The University of Minnesota is the DIS school of record, which issues official transcripts to institutions that are unable to accept the DIS Final Grade Report as documentation of credit earned abroad. There is an additional fee of $450 for this service. You will receive additional information about School of Record during program registration.
